CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) -

An exotic dancer was rushed to the hospital after falling from a balcony at a downtown Cleveland strip club early Wednesday.

It happened shortly after 1 a.m. at Christie's Cabaret.

A witness told police that he was receiving a lap dance from the victim, when she grabbed the rail. The witness said that as the 22-year-old woman tried to complete some sort of dance move, she accidentally went head first over the rail of the balcony.

The woman was rushed to Metro with major head trauma, and is listed in critical condition.
